Ligue 1: Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain
Match time: 23-10-29 20:00 Sunday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Brest's recent form has dropped slightly, with four wins, three draws and two defeats, placing them in fifth place in the league. As a team that was still in the middle and lower reaches of Ligue 1 last season, it is not easy for Brest to achieve such good results in the new season, but with the deepening of the league, Brest's competitive state is gradually declining, and the team has failed to taste the taste of victory in three consecutive games, which directly led to the team falling out of the top four ranks of the league, and Brest's offensive ability is very limited.
Personally, Brest's 433 formation is still slightly bigger, and it seems that the team's midfield confrontation ability has indeed improved, but this is also based on the fact that the main players are in good shape, the reason why the team's performance is poor in recent games is mainly because of the decline in the ability to intercept in the front court, after all, the depth of the team's lineup is insufficient, which makes it difficult for the head coach to rotate the main lineup. And the Brest players are more through ferocious pressing when defending, this defensive attitude is certainly worthy of recognition, but it will also consume more physical reserves, it can be said that today's higher league rankings are completely based on the active defense of the players.
Of course, there may be some fans who will think that a team that can finish high in the league must have good defensive ability. There is nothing wrong with this statement, but first of all, the bench lineup of the top teams is generally deeper, and the substitutes will not affect the overall strength of the team too much, while Brest does not have this advantage, and this team does not have a big star in the squad, it is difficult to find a key player who can lay the foundation for the team, which is the main factor why Brest has not been able to achieve good results in the previous season.
Paris Saint-Germain has been in decent form recently, with five wins, three draws and one loss, ranking third in the league. Although there is still a four-point point gap between the Ligue 1 hegemons and the top Nice, this is also directly related to the team's distraction in the Champions League, the current Champions League promotion situation of Paris Saint-Germain is quite good, for most of the main players, the Champions League qualification place is obviously more important than the league title, after all, the competition for the Ligue 1 trophy is much simpler than the Champions League competition, even if the team is temporarily unable to reach the top of the league table, as the league progresses, Other competitors may not always be able to maintain a steady pace.
In their last game, Paris Saint-Germain beat AC Milan 3-0 in the Champions League group stage. Judging from the process of the game, Paris Saint-Germain showed a pretty good competitive state at home, not only the offensive side can create greater pressure on the opponent, but also the original loose back line has also made significant progress, and AC Milan's strong side breakthrough ability has not been shown in this game, Leao can not create too good offensive opportunities after encountering many people, and finally Paris Saint-Germain is at home to three consecutive cities, consolidating their position as the top of the group.
Match Analysis:
In the two meetings last season, Brest lost both games and failed to steal league points against Paris Saint-Germain. In the last ten meetings, Brest has been in ten games and is completely at a disadvantage. It can be said that Paris Saint-Germain is Brest's number one bitter opponent in Ligue 1, and Brest is simply unable to resist the continuous attack of the opponent during the encounter. Although Brest has started quite well this season, the team's form has declined in recent rounds of the league, but fortunately, Paris Saint-Germain has just played a Champions League group stage, and the physical fitness of the main players will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.
Premier League: West Ham v Everton
Competition time: 2023-10-29 21:30 Sunday
West Ham's recent form has fluctuated, with four wins, two draws and three defeats, sitting ninth in the league. Since David Moyes took over the rein, West Ham's overall ability has improved to a certain extent, but the team still does not perform well when encountering stronger opponents, and it is difficult to continue to play the role of a strong team touchstone in previous seasons, but Moyes is still a more experienced manager after all, as long as the club's management can give Moyes more time to adjust, I believe that West Ham will be able to regain their previous league competitiveness.
In the last five games, West Ham has won two, drawn one and lost two, with an average record. In their last game, the team suffered two consecutive defeats with a 2-1 defeat to Olympiacos in the Europa League. Judging from the process of the game, Olympiacos, who played at home in this game, obviously had a much stronger desire to win than West Ham, and the team attacked West Ham's back line after the opening, and several of the team's strikers were also in good shape, and they had established a two-goal lead in the first half alone. Although West Ham gradually improved in the second half through substitutions, Olympiacos directly reverted to the formation and offered a dense defense, and in the end, West Ham only saved a little face with Pacheta's goal and failed to steal group points from the opponent.
Everton are in a bad situation right now, after the news came out that the club is likely to face penalties for breaching the Premier League's financial fair play principles, and the team's results in the new season are not very good, with only two wins, one draw and six defeats, ranking 16th in the league. Once Everton is penalized, it may be very difficult for the team to complete the task of relegation, and Everton has not been able to get high-quality reinforcements in recent seasons, in this case, Everton's follow-up results may be difficult to guarantee.
Personally, Everton has now completely reduced to a weak team in the Premier League, although the overall strength of the team is not too weak, but most of the main players have long been disoriented, and the club is powerless to change the status quo of the team, except for selling the main players as much as possible to make up for the financial gap, there is no way to compete with other competitors in the transfer market for good players. Everton itself is a team with limited defensive ability, and after the departure of many main strikers, the team's attacking ability has also been greatly affected, and it can be said that this team will inevitably become the favorite for relegation in the Premier League this season.
Match Analysis:
West Ham won one and lost one of the two meetings last season, and apparently couldn't get anything to gain from Everton. In the last ten meetings, West Ham have won four, drawn one and lost five, and are even at a disadvantage. Although it seems that West Ham is not dominant against Everton, in fact, it is difficult for Everton to compete with stronger opponents today, first of all, the main players are not highly motivated, and the team does not have any chance to compete for the top four in the league, and because Everton is likely to be punished, some players are already looking for a home to leave the team in the winter window, West Ham has no concerns about this at present, and there is still hope for the team to impact a higher league standings. It is believed that West Ham should be able to rely on their stronger overall strength and the players' higher desire to win to snatch the three points on Everton.
